Strengthening OEM–Supplier Partnerships Through Transparent Cost Recovery & Shared Accountability
This Purchasing & Supplier Cost Sharing Group will focus on how OEMs and suppliers can build more resilient, data-driven, and mutually beneficial financial relationships.

Benchmarking Subtopics:
- Recovery: Approaches to warranty and cost recovery tracking, validation, and reimbursement accuracy across OEM–supplier networks
- Supplier Disputes: Root causes, escalation pathways, resolution timelines, and benchmarking dispute reduction strategies
- Process Efficiency: Streamlining administrative workflows, approval cycles, and data exchange between OEMs and suppliers
- High Value Commodities: Managing cost exposure, pricing volatility, and recovery strategies for critical/high-cost components
- Terms & Conditions: Benchmarking contract structures, liability definitions, and alignment of commercial terms to reduce ambiguity and conflict
